Cannot install Messenger for XP

[Eric]

Does anyone have any suggestions on not able to install Messenger for XP?
When I try to install Messenger using WLinstaller.exe, it cannot completely
install the Messenger. Will it be Microsoft Server problem or other?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Some have problems with the Live all-in-one installer.
In the messenger group Jonathon posted:

"If you download the following .msi, you can install it on any PC,
offline or otherwise:
